MIN runs delay twist, which I talked about at length. VB does a great job to peel off and blow up the pin-in look for Collier, but that leaves her switched onto Phee, and she goes to work on VB in the post late for a late-clock turnaround. riseofthevalkyries.substack.com/p/how-the-va...

... but preseason is good for exposing shortcomings. She was at a strength and athleticism deficit (for now!) against seasoned pros, and defense is crueler to young players than offense.

No surprise that the Fire, who figure to be a very aggressive defense, show a similar late pressure look against the Sparks. You can see Sarama motion for the double in the first clip and then Bühner seems to look back toward the Fire bench before double in the second clip. (3/4)

Great coverage read from A'ja Wilson. Hillmon undercuts the screen aggressively, so Wilson cuts/powers through to the rim for an and-one. A baseline inbound play the Dream saw on film, and Hillmon executed the coverage to take away the shot, but Wilson (/LVA?) just countered to great success.

The Mercury got some good offense when Alyssa Thomas rejected the inverted ball screen, a play with which Phoenix killed Golden State last year and will run plenty of this year (especially once Sami Whitcomb is back).

Clever from Maria Conde/Schio. They show the Spain action early (backscreen roll, pop), and Jess Shepard gets fouled. Then, off a BLOB, they show the same action, but Conde slips the back screen. If Shepard fades wing, she might be able to hold Kuier and negate the recovery to the paint/contest.

Have to give Laeticia Amihere her flowers: she's been tremendous. Per pbpstats, she already has three and-ones this season, matching her seasonal career high through just two games!

What's awesome about this Tempo BLOB is how Marina Mabrey executes it. Toronto spams screen-the-screener baseline, so Mercury very much have it on their scout, but Mabrey ghosts the first screen instead of setting the usual backscreen. That catches Brochant a step behind. Game.

Quick Leïla Lacan defense thread from Landes-Venezia. Her effortlessness (a useful heuristic) while guarding in isolation and executing basic, important defensive concepts (X out in the third clip) really stands out in conjunction with her length. She does the basic things AND the advanced things.

Lauren Betts and the Mystics are going to be just fine. I like using her as a high post facilitator, which also opens up the handoff game, simplifies her rolls, and expands her role, per se. herhoopstats.substack.com/p/lauren-bet...
